Darla meets the "cousins"

I am pleased to report that Darla flies fabulously. She didn't seem too put off by the air-travel - aside from her eagerness to be back at our side. Over the ten days she met many of her canine cousins (as well as Merlin - the cat who stayed in Winnipeg - who wanted nothing to do with another dog, although he's quite cozy with Jesse.)

Here is Darla with Rollee the grumpy old dalmation and Hudson the husky (named for Hudson Hawk) chez Corey.

Darla also made friends with Jesse, my parents dog. Jesse looked different to me, more like a horse in comparison to Darla, but I've been assured that she hasn't changed. I am definitely accustomed to how Darla looks.

And here we are at my Aunt's house for a family BBQ with Jesse, Darla and Barley (pictured here with Darla).

10 Days visiting family friends is no holiday. It's fun, but far from restful. Granted, I got to spend 5 of those days at Bird's Hill Park with my family for the Winnipeg Folk Festival. Again, fun but far from restful. On one of those days I missed the afternoon and evening concerts to attend Joe and Jen's wedding - which was well worth the sacrifice! ;)
Congratulations to the happy couple again!! While I was at Folk Fest, Robin was busy with his friends and the wedding party. And Darla hung out with Rollee and Hudson. Now we're all back to work - well, not Darla unless lounging in my reading chair and occassionally chasing the cats counts as work.
